All right, I'll ask: Pilots and FAs have negotiated contracts negotiated from their respective unions, right? Can Delta force a pay cut on the pilots and FAs?

How will the rest of Delta's workforce receive a cut in pay when the flightcrew does not receive a corresponding cut?

Also, how realistic is it to expect a better customer experience if there are fewer gate agents, CSAa, and the like to provide it? This part sounds like wishful thinking.

The airline cannot force a pay cut on unionized employees unless it files for bankruptcy (or possibly during negotiation of an expired labor contract if the parties have reached an impasse).

They probably won't be happy. But the flight crews have taken cuts since 9/11.

It's not realistic.
